If the title of your game and the showcase is "its open source!" then your game is terrible.

You do know where you are, right?

This is more of an educational/for the sake of it project than anything else. Something that fits in perfectly here. It's not trying to attract 9-year-olds who scream insults about your mother down the mic at you.

Its a bad title for a game. if the highlight of a game is "its libre" then its not much of a game.

Hi! I'm the Liblast project lead :)

I very much understand that having "libre" in the name throws you off, because that phenomenon is a part of why we're doing this project :)

Most FOSS games don't have an original idea and don't have a good direction. A lot of open-source games are just inferior remakes of existing proprietary games. We intend to do something different and hopefully something much better. But we're very early on this path still.

If you'd like to learn more about why this project exists and what is the idea behind it, here's a video where I explain just that: https://youtu.be/JAQH2AVvKhU
